Hi Robert, also, use the function wizard to insert the function: - Type "=" in the cell you want the function to be into - Look at the upper left corner of the Excel window, just above the A column header - click in the drop-down arrow Excel will show a list of functions; locate the one you want, click it; the wizard will have a brief explanation, besides helping you to set the function up.
